InHand IR301 Cellular Router for Cat M1/NB IoT Networks with WiFi, Fast Ethernet, 2 SIM Slots

The InRouter301 (IR301) from InHand Networks is an industrial LTE router suitable for the networking of unattended devices and sites. Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) applications are more remote and diverse than ever. By wirelessly connecting systems such as ATMs, kiosks, digital signage, vending machines, and meters, owners can implement centralized management and control. Real-time monitoring, data collection, and diagnostics bring new levels of efficiencies and service. This small device integrates cellular, Wi-Fi, and VPN technologies to provide reliable and secure Internet connectivity. Certified for use with Verizon and AT&T, the IR301 provides uninterrupted Cat 1, or M/NB-IoT data rates. Its low power and cost make it an attractive solution for many wireless IoT applications.

With one Ethernet port, Wi-Fi, and two SIM card slots, the IR301 includes the ability to backup and failover one WAN link to another. Should a line break or inadequate wireless coverage drop the primary communication link, automatic link-layer detection will switch to a secondary backup link. SIM failover, PPP layer detection, and self-recovery add to reliability and stability. The IR301 offers strong security protection with VPN, packet inspection, intrusion detection, ACL, filtering, and binding.

A full range of InHand management tools makes network deployment quick and straightforward. InHand Device Manager is a cloud platform offering remote monitoring, configuration, and management of hundreds of devices. You may set up a VPN tunnel between the client and a field controller, e.g., SCADA, upload software updates, remotely diagnose issues, and more.

Industrial communication infrastructure requires routers that can withstand many adverse environmental conditions. The IR301 was designed to resist current surges, voltage spikes, extreme temperatures, and electromagnetic interference. Optional DIN-rail mounting fits standard control panels and cabinets.

Need an IoT Data Plan?

Enable your IR301 with a cost-effective monthly data plan to ensure your router is ready to deploy. Select Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T, and the data plan size from 100 MB to Unlimited GB. You are billed monthly; there’s no long-term contract. Plus, manage all of your fielded gateways from a single cloud-based web portal.

You can purchase a SIM card from this page. It will be mailed to you in 2 to 3 business days. After you receive your card, sign up for a data plan at Mobility Help Desk. The set up instructions are on this page.

High-Performance Antenna Options

The InHand IR301 includes one cellular antenna with a magnetic base and cable and a single WiFi antenna if this option is selected. For mobile and industrial applications, check the Accessories tab above for high-performance antennas. Many come with low-loss RF cables and mounting brackets, allowing you to position the antenna for the best reception.
